Energy Cross - the new reverse harness
The new ENERGY CROSS reverse harness has a unique back support which is adjustable. The harness is low weight, elegant, easy to handle and offers a lot of stowing room. It replaces a comfort ruck sack and at the same time offers the sitting comfort of the ENERGY-HARNESS-FAMILY. Absolutely unique is the optimal adjusting system for the back length – the FLASH System. The easy handling through a centrally attached buckle enables the pilot to adjust the length of the back length in seconds.
